When the head is tilted such that gravity pulls on the statoconia the gelatinous layer is pulled in the same direction also causing the sensory hairs to bend.

The antennas were exposed to volatile chemicals from smoldering pieces of wood and the reactions generated by thousands of sensory hairs on the antennas were measured by electrical changes.
23.
It is known that when the fluid inside the cochlea is disturbed by vibrations, it triggers sensory hairs which send electrical current to the brain, where vibrations are processed into sound.
24.
It spends most of its time in dark tunnels, so its vision is limited, but it can navigate both forward and backward with ease, aided by sensory hairs at either end.

Chang says all three problems can be related to the loss of some of the 15, 000 sensory hair cells that line the fluid-filled cochlea, a snail shell-like structure of the inner ear.
26.
It is not known what the function of the oral setae in extant species is, other than the long sensory hairs seen in some genera such as " Anochetus " and " Odontomachus ".
27.
When the sensory hairs of the tail fan of crayfish are stimulated, the LG activates the motor neurons that control flexion movements of the abdomen in the way that propels the crayfish away from the source of the stimulation.
28.
Some examples of planar cell polarity include the scales of fish being oriented in the same direction and similarly the feathers of birds, the fur of mammals, and the cuticular projections ( sensory hairs, etc . ) on the bodies and appendages of flies and other insects.
